Page 24: Labels
Labels Labels are paper with pressure-sensitive adhesive. Acceptable sizes are Letter and A4. Note the following conditions when choosing a label sheet: ❏ The label print face (top, or face sheet) must be made of ordinary, matte-ﬁnish paper similar to copy paper. ❏...
Page 25: Postcards
❏ Poorly manufactured envelopes are not recommended. Postcards Follow these guidelines when printing on postcards: ❏ Postcards should not be greater than 0.28 mm in thickness. ❏ Postcards should be free of glue, clips, and staples. ❏ Do not use postcards that are damaged or curled, or that have special coatings or an irregular shape.
Page 26: Storing Paper
Storing Paper Improper paper storage might cause a deterioration of print quality and paper performance. Therefore, note the following when storing paper: ❏ Store unused paper in its wrapping to protect against humidity. ❏ Do not store paper directly on the ﬂoor as the ﬂoor is usually humid. ❏...
Page 27: Paper Path
Paper Path Understanding how paper travels inside the printer helps you better handle paper loading and jams. A sheet of paper enters the printer from the MP tray or the manual feed slot. It travels to the image transfer area where the printer drum has been statically charged.
Page 28: Selecting Paper Delivery
Selecting Paper Delivery Use the paper delivery selector to choose face-up or face-down delivery. When the selector is in the lower position, face-up delivery is selected. When the selector is in the upper position, face-down delivery is selected. Face-down Face-up Face-down Delivery Use face-down delivery for plain paper only.
Page 29: Face-Up Delivery
Face-up Delivery Use face-up delivery for envelopes and transparencies, as well as other special paper, including non-standard sized plain paper. Printouts come out from the face-up delivery slot face up. This helps prevent paper curl. To select face-up delivery, push the paper delivery selector down. ❏...
Page 30: Loading Paper Into The Mp Tray
Loading Paper into the MP Tray The multi-purpose tray can hold up to approximately 125 sheets of 75 g/m paper for high-volume printing. Acceptable paper sizes are Legal, Letter, A4, Executive, and B5. It also accepts transparencies, envelopes, postcards, or special paper with a maximum height of 12.5 mm. Before loading paper on the MP tray, ﬁrst select the paper delivery.
Page 31 Prepare a stack of paper and tap it on a ﬂat surface to properly align the edges. ❏ Do not fan the paper, or printing problems might occur. ❏ When using transparencies, slightly fan the stack of transparencies before loading them in the MP tray to prevent feed failures. Align the stack of paper so that the side to be printed on faces the front of the printer.
Page 32 Adjust the paper guides to the width of the paper stack. For A4-size or Letter/Legal-size paper, align the paper guides with the icons inside the MP tray. Adjust the paper guides so that there is no space between the paper guide and the edge of the stack of paper.
Page 33: Loading Envelopes Into The Mp Tray
Loading Envelopes into the MP Tray Before Loading Envelopes Please be sure to follow these steps before loading envelopes: Place the envelopes on a ﬂat surface and press the corners down in the direction shown to ﬂatten the envelopes. Flex the envelope stack, including all four edges, to remove any stiffness.
Page 34: Loading Envelopes
Align the stack of envelopes by tapping them on a ﬂat surface. Loading Envelopes Align the stack of envelopes so that the side to be printed on faces the front of the printer. Slide the stack in until it stops. Paper Handling Chapter 2...
Page 35 Adjust the paper guides to the width of the stack of envelopes. Most applications allow you to choose which way envelopes feed into the printer. Make sure your printer settings before you print. When using C5-size envelopes, remove any stiffness by lightly ﬂexing both edges of the envelope.
Page 36 Insert the envelopes one at a time into the MP tray, in the direction shown in the illustration. If the ﬂap is along the long edge of the envelope, insert each envelope with the ﬂap at the back and on the right. If the ﬂap is along the short edge of the envelope, insert envelopes with the ﬂap at the bottom and at the back.
Page 37 Not Acceptable If the ﬂap of any of the envelopes overlaps the edges of other envelopes in the stack, like those in the examples below, paper jams or misfeeds will occur. Flaps overlapping the envelopes underneath Flaps overlapping Top flap overlaps the envelopes underneath Chapter 2 Paper Handling...
Page 38: Loading Paper Manually
Loading Paper Manually The manual feed slot allows you to load paper manually, one sheet at a time. You can load transparencies, labels, envelopes, postcards, or other special paper. You can also load plain paper, which is useful when you want to use paper that is a different size from the paper in the MP tray.
Page 39 ❏ Do not force the paper into the printer or printing problems might result. ❏ For continuous manual feed, insert a new sheet only when the previous sheet has come out completely from the delivery slot. If a new sheet is inserted before the previous sheet has been delivered, a paper jam may occur.

Appendix B Network Adapter: AXIS 1610 The optional network adapter, AXIS 1610 is available to use the LBP-810 in a network. When the network adapter is connected to the parallel port of the LBP- 810, the printer can connect directly to a network. The network adapter and host have a peer-to-peer connection.
Page 168: Connecting Directly From Clients
Connecting Directly From Clients Centralized control of print jobs is not available because print queues are distributed among all clients. When multiple jobs compete, jobs print in the order of arrival at the network adapter. Jobs may not arrive in the order they were sent. For example, if client 1 enters jobs A and B, and then client 2 enters job C, the print order might be A, C, then B, if job B did not arrive at the network adapter until job A was completed.
